COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

FRED NICOLAS GONZALEZ, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 36th District Court of Aransas County, Texas.

ORDER Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza Order Per Curiam Currently pending before the Court is appellant’s pro se motion for access to the

appellate record. Appellant’s counsel has filed an Anders brief herein and appellant has

been unable to examine the record so that he can file a pro se brief. See Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Accordingly, we GRANT appellant’s motion and it

is hereby ORDERED that the trial court ensure that appellant has the opportunity to fully examine the appellate record on or before the expiration of thirty days from the date of

this order, and it is FURTHER ORDERED that the trial court notify this Court as to the

date upon which the appellate record was made available to appellant. See Kelly v.

State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). We also GRANT appellant’s motion for

extension of time to file pro se brief. Appellant shall have forty five (45) days from the

day the appellate record was first made available to him to file his pro se brief with this

Court. The State shall have twenty days thereafter to file its response, if any.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
